SHARESIFT

Cheapest bond and cash ETFs on the ASX

In short: As of 7 October 2026, 34 of the 798 names screened meet all of this screen's criteria; the lowest fees are BILL (0.07%), VAF (0.10%) and IAF (0.10%).

ASX-listed funds holding bonds or cash, cheapest first. For a fund whose return comes mostly from interest, the fee takes a larger share of what it earns than it does for a shares fund, so it matters more here, not less.

Fees are read from the issuers' own product pages — BetaShares, iShares, SPDR, VanEck and Vanguard so far. Funds from other issuers, such as Global X, are not yet covered, so a cheap fund from one of them will not appear here.
